can anyone disagree with this? seriously, i cant believe i wasted a few bucks on a rental for this crap. and i really liked m night shamalan. what the hell was this movie?

was thier even a point?

someone who actually liked it, explain to me why. i cant think of one good thing about this movie.

Napolean, like anybody could even know that.

I guess you haven't seen many movies...

Maybe you should hav e listened to all the bad reviews and negative word of mouth on this one. It's no secret a lot of people, inclduing M. Night fans, didn't like this movie.

In an effort to help you out, a piece of advice: Don't rent "Catwoman" or "Van Helsing" either.

Thanks atari600, you the man!

This is the worst repost of all time

You know, under that horrible movie was a pretty candid commentary on religion.

I didnt see it (and it seems that I should consider myself lucky) but the WORST movie of all time? Worse than Battlefield Earth? Worse than SuperBabies? Worse than Pluto Nash, "Manos" the Hands of Fate, and Police Academy 7: Assignment Moscow?

Wow. That's saying something.

Wait,your mad because you rented this?I bought this piece of crap.

Not far from the truth man. After awhile in the movie, I started fast-forwarding to the woods scenes... which seemed to be the only ones worth watching. The big looked pretty cool... I actually watched through the full ending, which was kind of interesting,but is all it really had going for it. I'm glad I didn't spend my time watching the full movie... which is less to say than others.

I'm a huge fan of Signs, by the way.

Far from the worst of all time. I thought it was ok... not nearly as good as Sixth Sense or Unbreakable.

Worst movie of all time?

Get real .... see some more movies ..... go through the 100 movies that have won Golden Turkey awards ... catch up on some recent Razzie winners ...

I didn't like The Village but calling it the "worst movie of all time is .. well ... the worst "criticism" posted recently.

Anyone who thinks this was a bad movie didn't get it. --Me on my ultra-snob days

Seriously, this movie is pretty good, not as good as Sixth Sense or Unbreakable but still a very well done movie.

That's what I was thinking.

I enjoyed this until the big reveal. I wish they would have just continued on with the story line

This shamalayan is a one trick pony if you ask me...

I enjoyed The Village, for what it's worth. I just didn't like M Night's acting and monologue explaining the whole thing... It just seemed like it was a "Let's just throw in this part because audiences are stupid!" kinda thing

Original poster wants someone to give him a reason why they liked it or why the movie was in their opinion good? That other thread has 323 post in it. You figure that the OP would atleast find one or two posters there that might be able to answer him.

My post from the other thread on this subject . . .

SPOILERS

Also from the other thread, but I thought Adrian Brody did a bad job, just way over the top to the point of unbelievable. Now Bryce Dallas Howard did a very good job, even though some situations she was in was unbelievable (basically running through a forest while blind and not hitting a tree).

For that matter, I never figured out why the adults would send a blind girl on a journey where the directions were basically "go through the woods for half a day, then turn right". She's friggin blind people, just get off your ass and go get the damn medicine yourself!

Oh well. It wasn't a horrible movie, just not a good one. It would have made a really good episode of The Outer Limits or The Twilight Zone, but there was too little beef to it to make it a full movie.

As for the acting, I really did like all of the performances other than Adrian Brody. I also liked Phoenix' acting, I hope he is in more movies.

Just some thoughts . . .

I for one did not like this movie, and was seriously disapointed with it.

But worst movie of all time? Questioning why people liked it?

I mean, come on, even though I too thought it was pointless and found the "twists" to be uninteresting and a complete killer of the build up M Night had made, one cannot deny some striking cinematography, a beautiful score, some wonderful acting, and great set design. And, also, I think the build up in the first half of the movie is quite effective, which is, well, the reason I so disliked the movie. Because it built up so well, and then poof, like a wall of bricks crushed my enjoyment that M Night had built up so well in the first half. Simply because I did not like what this story was really about.

But, on the other hand, I can fullly understand why people did like it. And watching it a second time, knowing full well what the deal was, I was able to enjoy the parts of it that were good. If anything, Bryce Dallas Howard gives a wonderful performance.

I don't think there's any need to worry about it now. We'd be saving people a couple hours.

I'm tempted to rent it now just to see how bad it is

It's not that bad. From a production standpoint, it's excellent. It's just the wonky story and annoying twist that really bugs people. But it's hardly plagued with inane dialogue, idiotic acting, horrible music, bad cinematogrpahy, or other things that some other bad movies have. It's a bad movie in the sense that it completely fails in what it's trying to do (imo).

I'd say it's one of the most disapointing movies I've seen, but not necessarily bad across the board like some other films. It's just a different type of bad then say, Catwoman or House of the Dead.

Atari, in answer to your question... no. It is not.

An M Night Shyamalan film commenting on religion?

OH MY GOD!

Oh come now, is this a Matrix sequel?
